Chapter 1450 -1434: Endless Affection (Part 2)
The three teachers couldnât help but frown secretly. Xiao Yingyingâs image has great potential to become an idol singer, and idols generally shouldnât easily reveal romantic relationships. Doing so would be quite an unwise move.
Xiao Yingying sang a love song, which was originally an old song, one that practically everyone could sing.
However, as the song came from Xiao Yingying, it conveyed a different kind of sentiment, as if listening to a favorite girl softly whispering sweet nothings, especially with Xiao Yingyingâs angelic voice, making the listening experience enchanting and indescribable.
While singing, Xiao Yingyingâs gaze was fixed on Song Xiaodong. This song was meant for him, a true expression from her heart.
When a singer can express their true feelings through song, it reaches a very high level, creating a naturally different impact.
Song Xiaodong and Xiao Yingying locked eyes, not entirely aware of what Xiao Yingying was singing. He was completely immersed in her sentiments.
In their eyes, there was no one else but each other. They didnât even realize the song had stopped, yet their gazes remained tenderly fixed.
Chapter 1435
After watching Xiao Yingyingâs performance, Song Xiaodong and Lu Yaobing left the venue. To Song Xiaodong, no matter how well others performed, it didnât matter.
Xiao Yingying and Xuanxuan couldnât come out just yet; they would still need to make an appearance after the audition ended.
Lu Yaobing held Song Xiaodongâs arm and said, âMaster, Master Xuanxuan and Master Yingyingâs performances were amazing, especially Master Yingying, which was simply outstanding. Itâs like the legendary heavenly sound.â
Song Xiaodong also said with a somewhat proud tone, âYes, Yingying is indeed talented in this area. But if Master Xuanxuan hears your words, do you think she might attack you?â
Lu Yaobing stuck out her tongue, saying, âOh, praising one means offending the other. But master, donât you face such issues regularly?â
Song Xiaodong paused and said, âI donât think anything like this has happened, but Iâm not sure what I might say without noticing.â
Lu Yaobing said, âHaha, Master, you need to be cautious. With so many Masters, donât pamper one and make the others unhappy.â
Song Xiaodong nodded, deeply agreeing, and said, âYes, I really should pay attention to this. Nobody cares now, but over time, conflicts due to such issues would be unpleasant.â
Lu Yaobing suddenly said excitedly, âMaster, look, I reminded you of such an important point. Shouldnât you reward me?â
Song Xiaodong laughed and said, âAlright, Iâll reward you. What do you want, Master will buy it for you.â
âWellâŠâ Lu Yaobing touched her chin, looking as if she couldnât think of anything.
Song Xiaodong asked with a smile, âPretty clothes? Bags? Or jewelry, cars, tell me, donât feel embarrassed. As long as you want it, Master will buy it for you.â
âMasterâŠâ Lu Yaobing shook Song Xiaodongâs arm, pouting, âCanât you be a little less tacky? This is the method of a rich man trying to woo a girl. I donât care for these things.â
Song Xiaodong laughed heartily and said, âAlright, alright, itâs Masterâs fault. Then, what reward do you want?â
âWellâŠI havenât decided yet. Iâll tell you when I figure it out, but you have to promise me you wonât go back on your word.â
âWhen has Master ever gone back on his word? You decide and tell Master.â
A taxi pulled up, and they got into the car directly.
After more than half an hour, the car arrived at a resort, which had been completely booked for the day. Everyone here was either wealthy or prominent, and, of course, mostly from the entertainment industry.
As their car stopped, a business car pulled up next to theirs at the entrance. The people inside presented an invitation, allowing the car to drive inside.
âHey, isnât that your classmate?â A female star in the car said to Chen Xinran.
Chen Xinran turned her head and recognized Song Xiaodong and Lu Yaobing getting out of a taxi.
Just as Chen Xinran was about to open the car window, the director said sternly, âXinran, donât recognize people randomly. Is this a place just anyone can come? If they ask you to take them inside, what would you do?â
The female star immediately added, âExactly. Even for a newcomer like you, itâs already a fortune to be here. You still think of others, truly unaware of the worldâs complexity.â
âYes, yes, Sister Liu and the director are right. I wonât call them,â Chen Xinran apologized awkwardly.
Song Xiaodong and Lu Yaobing reached the entrance, and the guard scrutinized their casual attire and taxi ride, then said, âSorry, this place is booked today. Please come back tomorrow.â
Song Xiaodong took out his phone, opened an invitation code, and said, âPlease check.â
The guard checked the code, and his expression changed immediately, smiling apologetically, âPlease come in, esteemed guests. Would you like me to show you around?â
âNo need, you carry on. Weâll just look around.â Song Xiaodong smiled lightly and walked in with Lu Yaobing.
As they walked away, another guard quietly asked, âWho are they?â
The first guard, who initially stopped them, said with a twitching mouth, âThese two have the highest-level invitation codes. Todayâs rich folk like putting on airs. Such high-profile figures dressed so ordinarily and came by taxi.â
âWow, theyâre probably hiding their wealth. It seems todayâs rich folks enjoy playing this game.â
âWho knows? Anyway, anyone who can bring such a pretty girl must be extraordinary. Letâs stay alert, donât screw up again. Fortunately, they didnât hold it against us.â
The resort was quite nice, with two elegant three-story buildings and a broad lawn in front. Two long tables were set with various foods in front of the building.
Many people had gathered, chatting in small groups.
Upon arriving, Lu Yaobingâs eyes brightened, and she excitedly grabbed Song Xiaodongâs hand, exclaiming, âOh my, so many celebrities! Itâs dazzling.â
Song Xiaodong chuckled softly, saying, âCanât you have a little more ambition?â
Lu Yaobing stuck out her tongue, saying, âJust a bit excited, Iâm fine now, Iâm fine.â
Song Xiaodong smiled and said, âLetâs get something to eat; we havenât had dinner yet.â
âOkay, okay.â Lu Yaobing nodded, then added, âMaster, we seem a bit out of place here. Look at everyone in formal attire. Our clothes areâŠtoo plain. If Iâd known, I wouldâve brought my formal dress.â
Song Xiaodong had previously taken Lu Yaobing to some important provincial occasions, so she didnât lack formal attire.
âItâs alright, weâre just here for fun. No need to mind. Besides, I donât welcome those stars swarming around me.â
Lu Yaobing hugged Song Xiaodongâs arm tightly, saying, âHehe, youâre scared the Masters will get angry, right? Now Iâm here to watch over you for them, I wonât let any female stars get close to you.â
With the hug, Lu Yaobingâs chest was pressed closely against Song Xiaodongâs arm, and she didnât mind at all.
Song Xiaodong didnât care now either, laughing, âAlright, then youâll be my Guardian today.â
âPfft! Guardian, youâre so funny, Master.â Lu Yaobing burst into laughter.
âYaobing? Why are you here?â Just then, Chen Xinran noticed them and, after slight hesitation, approached.
